Wow, just wow. After blowing that petition off at 5 am, I get an email blast from Chairman Woodfill that wants me to sign it! WTH? This is so unbelievable it is hard to even comprehend. The idea that state after state is going to nullify federal laws that they don’t like is pretty scary. I get that this bill is terrible, I get that the federal government years ago crossed any semblance of what the founders intended, etc. But Jared, dude! Nullification?
Here is the “blast”:
Forget the runoff that he is in with Ed Hubbard. This move doesn’t just make Harris County Republicans look like idiots, this move, from the largest red county in the country, makes ALL Republicans look like whining little fools. You gotta be kidding me!
I received an email from a friend shortly after the blast – he put it this way:
Whoa, someone told Jared there was a recent vote on health care. This is so wrong on so many levels. “Our online petition” is an email gathering scheme. Polling is showing right now that while people favor repeal, they realize it can’t happen. And if Republicans campaign on complete repeal, when they fail to deliver, they will lose their next campaign.
Some people wonder why this party has been set so far back. Responding to this vote nearly 2 weeks later is a good example of why. Too bad Rapid Defender was relieved of his duties, he could have been out front on this a good day or so earlier.
Finally, our party is still battling lost fights, meanwhile the Obama Permanent Campaign is forging full speed ahead on Cap & Tax and fake jobs programs, but we’re going to call on Slick Rick by collecting emails in Houston.
He’s right but way too nice. It is an email gathering scheme but this is the kind of stuff that will make Harris County no longer the “largest red county” in the country. Harris County Democratic Party Chair Gerry Birnberg is probably salivating about now while Harris County Judge Ed Emmett is ducking under his desk. This is an outrageous move by Mr. Woodfill.
I don’t even know what else to say. Except that I think that Medicare and Medicaid are far greater encroachments upon the State of Texas. Nullify those two, Mr. Woodfill.
One more thing. Texas needs to call a special session and split into five states. That is all.
